About Carol

Carol Fritzsche is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience as a mental health therapist and a longer background supporting children and families in education and social services.

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem and career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, among other areas.

Her practice also addresses issues related to aging, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication difficulties, domestic violence, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, and financial worries.

Her therapeutic stance blends client-centered listening with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods, and she integrates psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns that shape emotion and behavior. Carol emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify the thoughts and habits that keep them stuck while developing tailored coping skills and problem-solving steps.

She invites clients to participate actively in shaping treatment goals and values the therapeutic relationship as a cooperative process. Clients who choose her can expect a flexible, attentive clinician who adapts evidence-informed techniques to individual needs and priorities.

Carol encourages a compassionate, steady pace for growth and aims to support people as they build clearer focus, healthier relationships, and more satisfying daily functioning.

Approaches that guide online work and practical access

Carol uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood swings, attention difficulties, and stress. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening, validation, and collaboration so that clients feel heard while they set personal goals and make meaningful changes. Solution-focused techniques are woven in to target immediate priorities and build small, achievable steps toward improvement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carol approaches that decision collaboratively. She will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor sessions so methods align with what feels most useful and realistic for the person's life and challenges.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain momentum between meetings, and access support from home or another comfortable location while working with a licensed professional.
